NEEDS OF THE COUNTY.


The editor of the Amador Sentinel. in
speaking of the needs of this section, says:
The principal need of the county is an in
creased population of avigorous character,
that our lands now idle NAV be made to
yield more largely of the fruits of the
earth, and we are confident that those. who
are induced to come here and settle will
not regret 1t, as crops on our SIS, land are
more certain than on the high-priced land
In the large valleys of the State, and the
price obtained for all farm produce is
greater. For mining capital No, more in
viting field presents itself, and the great sue
cess attending those now here, is sufficient
guarantee to offer to those who would in
vest their money in mining property The
county possesses no bank, and it is the uni
versal opinion of our business men that an
institution with a capital of from S50, 900
TO 100000 at SIitter Greek would pay an
ample return TO the capital invested. Such
an institution is badly needed, and would at
once be enabled to enter upon a profitable
business. Small manufacturing enterprises
would thrive here owing to the cheap and
abundant water power and the certainty of
a paying home market. The greatest need
is more direct railroad communication, at
least penetrating as far as the mineral belt,
where already is population of at least
5000, and which is rapidly growing. Were
a road extended into the timber belt, as
fine body of timber would be at its feet
as it could possibly hope to find Like all
of the old mining counties, the history of
Amador for the past few years has been
comparatively slow going still, owing to
Its valuable quartz mines, ia has never been
sunk into such a slough of business depres-
sion as has been the fate Of some Others,
and now it looks as though the day Of
dawning prosperity was at hand.

the industrious miner, at a distance Of a
few miles apart are the towns of Jackson,
Sutter Creek, Amador City, Drytown and
Plymouth, the chief industry in each of
which is quartz mining. Here are to be
found the largest, most complete, most
economically operated mills upon the
American continent. Here are miners and
superintendent of mines, and manipu-
lators of sulphurets, who have devoted
their lives to the industry, and have be-
come expert and scientific. Here are gold
mines the development of which
GIVES UNDoUBTED ASSURANCE
of many years working of ore that will
yield not only handsome but immensely
rich returns to the undaunting courage of
the miner. In the early days of the quartz
excitement, in the absence of suitable ma
chlnery for hosting works, before the
bringing IN of water for motive power, the
operations seldom went below the 5g0-foot
leyeland the expensive operations caused the
loss OF many fortunes and the abandonment
OF many mines that have, in the new era
OF improvement, and the years of expe-
rlence In this class, become veritable bo-
nanzas. In the thirty-six years that mines
have been prosecuted upon the "bonanza
field" that extends across the county from
Calaveras on the south to Ell Dorado on
the north, it has been demonstrated by the
more recent developments that the greatest
bonanzas lie from l 900 to !, 800 feet below
the surface, and those who have delved
that deep have been rewarded for their
labor. The deep sinking on the mines
at and near Plymouth during the past two
years have confirmed that theory beyond
Il question of doubt
THE HAYWARD NINE.
Sutter creek can boast of having the
deepest-worked gold mine in the world
the Hayward-that has been sunk to a
depth Of $500 feet, which is 1900 feet be-
low the sea level, depth obtained by no
other quartz mine in the history of min
ing. The name of this mine is the Con-
solidated Amador, but it was better known
throughout California by the name of the
man Alvinza Hayward, whose pluck, en-
ergy, with a good share of luck, developed
it into the best-paying gold mine in the
world. In 1858, three mines on the south
side of Sutter creek-Wolverine, Eureka,
and Badger-were struggling for existence,
Alyinza Hayward owning the largest in
terest in the one last named. None
of the quartz mines at that time
were genii, ready at the asking to
bestow fortunes; on the contrary,
they were always requiring enormous out
lays for sinking shafts, running cross-cuts,
timber, wood and machinery, all making
quartz mining a precarious employment.
The Wolverine was among the first to fail
The Eureka was divided into about sixty
shares, most of the holders being working
men. The Badger was equipped with
hoisting works and mill on the creek
below the town of Sutter Creek Whether
because the rock was inferior or unskill-
fully handled, it
HARDLY EVER PAID EXPENSES,
Oftener less than more, to such an extent
that the mine, though promising one
had promised so much that its credit was
utterly destroyed. Ninety thousand dollars

and rivers in the early days of the gold
excitement, soon sought for the source
from which it came. Sometimes gold was
found with quartz adhering to it, or occa-
sionally quartz pebble riveted through
and through with gold. The veins of
quartz
SCANNING THE HILLS
In the vicinity of the richest placers also
served to point to that rock as the original
source of the precious metal. No extern
sive attempt at quartz mining was made in
Amador county until 1851, although earlier
quartz workings were heard of in Mari
posa county, at place called Carson Hill.
The whole country in the neighborhood
of Sutter creek abounds with quartz; in
some places there are mountains of it.
The first discovery of gold in quartz in
this locality seems to have been made by
man by the name of Davidson, Baptist
minister, in February, 1851, on the south
side of Amador creek, near the spring
there used by the miners. Bowlders of
considerable size were lying on top Of the
